We discussed points proposal with our members last year, they gave us inputs on where to move points from which benchmark and to which new one... These benchmarks were removed from points even before that if my memory recals..

You had double submissions, I deleted the other one, https://hwbot.org/submission/4989088

getting there

Don't use XTU profile to prefill your hardware, the hardware detection sometimes goes bonkers and tells the HWBOT API that an ES CPU was used. XTU 2.0 should be fine... I resubbed it for you: https://hwbot.org/submission/4989915

Hell yeah

it's magic

Solid start, hoping the memory will go a tad higher...

Super modding in motion!

Correct analysis by Vertex @skullbringer You already know where the problem lies, you want a fellow OCer to confirm "from a distance" it is your board? Would that make your board perform better? Only way to get it done is either to RMA it, sell it and/or buy a new one... Continuing to run around in circles or starting a lively discussion doesn't get you anywhere. Even if these are labelled designed for OC there are so many variables that can make each retail product different from one another. For what it is worth, this is not a DDR5 thing only, it happens with every generation. Though due to the high frequency demand it stands out quicker...

Calm down guys, we don't need another Apex flashback. For what it is worth most vendors have similar ongoing stuff, though not all truth is revealed... The most used board ofc got directly exposed. If you think your board is faulty, try to RMA it, though I'm not sure how GB RMA would approach this...

Added the wallpaper to the first post

Done, next time plz pm me so it gets done quicker, thank you!

you can find all your subs in the My Submission tab - All (depending on the amount of subs it can take a few minutes). I see 1306 subs for you E-mil Apparently I have 2672 taken into account for the rankings. But the 2D /3D selection request is a good one, will talk it through with the programmer

plz clarify what you exactly want to see, there are 2 and 3D points, but if we have to list them all for some it will be pages of submissions... you can check your own profile for that

Edited the CPU field

we only have these listed, need to check with @Strunkenbold

DDR1/2 : https://hwbot.org/competition/TT DCA_2/ DDR3: https://hwbot.org/competition/TT DCA/

Somehow it thought you had 2 CPUs running as it says 4 cores...

done

So if I stated regarding the 5800X3D, you can't use it in Round 1 of the Challengers Division II competition as this one already started it would be more clear? Anyway I'm not a native speaker but over the years none made any remarks on this apparently confusing wording....

Official background gents, enjoy

See Topic title thread: The official Challenger 2022 Div II ROUND 1 Round 1 is 2D only Round 2 is 3D only Round 3 is mixed 2D/3D There is indeed no overal winner of the Challenger series .The division number seperates specific hardware, this year it is based on manufacturer & Memory, previous years it was core based. The Rounds as you see seperates the benchmark types. Regarding hardware usage, this is a standard HWBot rule, if hardware is released after the competition has started, it will not be allowed to be used. It also needs to be available in the shops, not just a paper launch.

I think I got most of them
